Gently cover the cheesecake first with a paper towel and then with a piece of aluminum foil to tent.
Place cheesecake into pressure cooker using a pressure cooker sling.
Lock on lid and close Pressure Valve. Cook at High Pressure for 30 minutes. Allow a 15 minute natural release.
After all pressure has been released, open pressure cooker and remove the pan. Remove the foil and paper towel and dab away any water that may have accumulated. (It shouldn't).The center may be slightly soft, but don't worry. The cheesecake will continue to cook as it cools. If you over cook the top will crack like the cheesecake here. Seep post for tips.
